description

Refusing to be outdone on a day that also featured a 35-3 comeback in the postseason game before their own, Eric Allen and the Philadelphia Eagles did their part in marking January 3, 1993 as one for the underdogs. One defensive stand away from officially stamping a ticket into the NFC’s Divisional Round, the six-time Pro Bowl cornerback does one better, jumping a sideline route on the way to an interception and a pick-six. Somewhere among NFL history’s greatest ballhawks, Allen used a pair of interceptions (for 22 returned yards) and a touchdown to help Philadelphia — once trailing 20-7 in the third quarter — run off 26 unanswered points in the final quarter, fueling a 36-20 win over the New Orleans Saints.
